actually, u can use the mozilla's web socket documentation, there's the basics of how they works and how can u implement them in c#

In my opinion using https://socket.io would be much more easier and it has cross browser support!

WebSockets are not designed for games and there may be some threadding issues for this reason.

if its about a game.. better use java applet or flash..

if not, well web sockets.. go to google...

I'm not an expert in the area but that seems like an outdated suggestion to me. Particularly flash has been deprecated a while ago and completely removed from Chrome for instance. Java support is arguably even worse. There are several JS packages for game related stuff iirc, as well as an article on mozilla about web games: Introduction to game development for the Web (which does suggest using WebSockets funnily enough).

It feels a bit like the time of browser games is over. And imo, rightfully so. Firefox is probably the better target for web games nowadays.

future is right if flash is really removed from chrome,

but Java web apps such as minecraft will always be an option for game dev.

i believe Html5 failed for fps and mmo games due to its lag and lack of synchronization with networking...
